Thanks, GW. Don Tomich from Australia, says that they actually did make 4" fronts. I sure don't remember seeing any over here.
I hope you have a good Christmas! Ted
I have 2 4" Nylite wheels that I picked up among my many excess expenditures.  Unless I am seriously mauled by a bear next summer in the great land, they are definitely not available.

When I was in jr high metal shop, my project was building a kart to race. I had some old 4 inch front wheels from a Hornet, but replaced them with Nylites. They were really inexpensive, and since I already had used tires, saw no reason to buy 5 inch wheels just yet. So for a short time my home made square tube copy of a Meyers Speed Shop Lancer was fitted with those front wheels. Not long after, I secured my first NOS Saetta V-18. It had been sitting on the shelf for 10 years, but very new to me. Its amazing how fast that motor is, even today.
